Summer Time!

Why does summer always go so fast? It's just not fair.

And I can't even use busy as an excuse!

We've had a very uneventful summer and I like it.

Let's back up to June. June was very exciting!

Well it wasn't quite June, but on May 28th we got to meet this little guy...

Mr. Henry Moore

I could probably write a whole post on this event in and of itself.

I'll just say it's been pretty cool watching our friends become parents.

If I'm being completely honest, it's been educational too.

Henry is a cutie pie and he looks just like his daddy!

I wasn't sure what to think of him at first but we became fast friend-

I love holding him and watching him grow! 

I'm a total baby hog when I'm around him and I don't care.

He's just too cute:)

Also in June was the ongoing wall project...

I would not recommend this to anyone.

I knew it was a toss up when I ordered the stencil but I really wanted it to work!

The stencil was thick plastic and even though I used elmers spray glue to ahere it to the wall and get a tight fit, the paint still bled.
AND I'm super annoyed that it looks so great in pictures, but in person... you can definately see the imperfections. So for the next 3 weekends I took tape and attemplet to clean up all of the lines that weren't up to my standards... most boring job EVER!!!!!!

3 weeks after we started, this is the final product...

I really do love it and I love the way it looks,

but I worked way too hard on one silly wall.

Next time, I'll wallpaper:)
That't right I said wallpaper... so taboo.

A few other June moments...

We ran our first 10K!

As in, did.not.stop.

It sucked, and it hurt really bad, but I felt so accomplished when we crossed the finish line!!!!!

Laura and I also hosted Henry's SIP AND SEE!!!

So fun!

Laura came up with the idea of ordering a chick-fil-a nugget tray (serves 25-30) so we didn't have to grill in the 100 degree weather. We put it in a crock pot to keep warm - it was a hit!

Seriously doing this again!

In other news, I got PROMOTED!

First promotion of my career:) So it was big news for me!

I worked very hard for it and I totally deserved it. So it felt amazing to hear it was official.

My official new title is Tax Senior Associate.

Which means I will be reviewing most of my returns and projects instead of preparing them.

Obviously more responsibility which terrifies me.. but one day at a time right?   

And finally... in June (really, this happened in July) I had my first LIME-A-RITA.

 

SO GOOD! 

Tastes more like a summer beer than a margarita.

I actually don't even like Margaritas,

or tequilla

 or skinny girl margaritas for that matter

but this is nothing like any of those.

It's unique AND amazing, you should try it ASAP!
